Interview
Professor Carla Bottoli, an enthusiastic scientific researcher, kindly spoke to BrJAC
Prof. Dr. Carla B. G. Bottoli
Associate Professor at the Institute of Chemistry, University of Campinas, SP, Brazil
“What I say to young researchers is that a master's and doctoral education makes a difference in anyone's professional (and personal) life. Brazil needs qualified people, and we have many spaces to act. However, if they do not have job opportunities here in Brazil, look for opportunities outside of Brazil, but do not stop following your dreams of building a scientific career.” read more
Point of View
Expanding Collaborations with Brazilian Scientists
Prof. Dr. Ralph E. Sturgeon
Emeritus Research Officer, Metrology Research Centre, National Research Council, Canada
“One aspect, always underscored, but by no means unique to analytical chemistry, has been the benefits arising from collaborations. Much of modern science has, by necessity, become multidisciplinary in efforts to tackle ever more complex issues, requiring unique (and often expensive) facilities frequently unavailable in a single laboratory, as well as expertise spanning multiple disciplines to ensure success.” read more

From Afar and From the Inside: About the Importance of Ethics in the Global World of Science
Ewa Bulska
Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry and Director of Biological and Chemical Research Centre at the University of Warsaw, Poland
“From afar, that is, from my homeland, Poland, perhaps showing to some extent the point of view of a European; from the inside, that is, by being a regular visitor in Brazil and having many personal contacts with Brazilian analysts.” read more
